Hamburger and Wild Rice

For those days when you don't want to cook, or you don't have time to cook, this recipe is one of the best.  Using only 4 ingredients and some spices, you'll have a great meal prepared in no time. For the best flavor, use 2 different boxes of the long grain and wild rice. We used a cheap generic brand, and Rice-a-Roni.

Ingredients

2 boxes long grain and wild rice
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 lb. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder
Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning

Directions

In a heavy cast iron skillet, cook the ground beef and onion until the meat is done, and the onion is tender.  Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Drain off excess grease.

Combine the 2 boxes of long grain and wild rice together and seasoning packets in a small pot. Pour in the amount of water directed on both of the packages. Cook according to the longest cooking time directions, or until done. We just put ours on the stove and brought it to a boil without covering the pot. Then we turned the heat down to a simmer and continued to cook it until the rice was tender. We stirred it a couple of times when the rice was about done cooking as it was sticking on the bottom of the pot.

Stir in 1 can cream of mushroom soup into the long grain and wild rice. Add some pepper and Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning to taste

You can either combine the long grain wild rice and ground beef together. Or you can grab a bowl and put a spoonful of ground beef and then a spoonful of the rice and mix it in your bowl.
